Answer:

x=6.6 y=12

Explanation:

To know this problem, you need to know the Pythagorean theorem, though I think you know this since it seems like you are doing a quiz or something like that.
a^(2) +
b^(2) =
c^(2)

Solving x:

  • Plug the numbers in

  • 8.8^(2)+
    x^(2)=
    11^(2)
  • 77.44+
    x^(2)=121
  • 121-77.44=43.56

  • x^(2)=43.56

  • √(x)=
    √(43.56)
  • x=6.6

Solving for y:

  • Plug the numbers in

  • 6.6^(2) +10^(2) = y^(2)
  • 43.56+100=
    y^(2)
  • 143.56=
    y^(2)

  • √(143.56) =√(y)
  • 12=y

This might be too late, but I hope you were able to do well on your thing!
